Longer life than any other pad we have ever made and we think, longer life than anything else out there in the aftermarket, including stock pads

The UK EFI Bristol factory of EBC Brakes has used new ECO friendly technology to develop a brake pad that has unusually high friction levels yet still has good manners for street use with brake effect being strong from cold when the brake is first applied. The race pedigree of the material used also guarantees effective stopping up to temperatures exceeding 1400 F well above the maximum experienced in heavy braking, towing or downhill descents.

Winter testing in Ohio on a fleet five popular light trucks showed us the proof on cold braking in the worst wet and cold conditions where many performance brakes would not even start to show good brake effect.

So these are pads that have an extremely wide range of usability.

Towing with loads often pushes brakes past their factory limits, in fact have you even checked if the stock brakes on your truck or SUV are good enough for extended towing and hill descents?

The new carbon granule based EXTRA DUTY material is also extremely rotor friendly, minimal in dust and noiseless and each set is supplied with revolutionary NUCAP piston insert shims, another first from EBC.

Hi Travis, If you go to our ‘Where To Buy’ section of our website you can select one of our distributors that should be able to sell you some Extra Duty brake pads. Here is the link: /where-to-buy-in-the-usa/where-to-buy-in-the-usa-automotive

Extra Duty is due to launch in the USA in August 2013 and there is a large stock order in place at Perfect Brakes (http://www.perfectbrakes.com/), who have many parts in stock already. Please enquire with make model and year of your vehicle by email to this address: sales@perfectbrakes.com until stock is loaded onto the system and they will either process your order and ship or advise you of due dates promptly.

I have been using the Extra Duty pads on my 2011 Ford Raptor for about a year now. I am using these parts in combination with EBC GD Rotors. I have seen a significant improvement over the stock pads, and there has not been any concerns with fade or other issues. My uses for the truck range from driving 80 miles a day to and from work, to rallycorss and road rallies on the weekends. The pads and rotors continue to stop and last for the long commutes in traffic and the contestant breaking on the rallycross track. These are the best pads I have ever used, and continue to buy EBC for all my vehicles.

Fully floating 2-piece rotor that allows outer ring to expand freely in response to heat. This reduces stress which in turn extends rotor life and reduces the tendency for rotor cracking during extreme use.

Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance. Stainless bobbins reduce the requirement for regular disc maintenance and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely even when used on the public road with corrosive salts and other road grime.

Each bobbin assembly features an anti-rattle spring clip ensuring silent operation when driving on the public highway

Friction rings are cast from high carbon G3500 alloy giving excellent wear properties and improved thermal capacity. All EBC disc rings are cast using the ‘centre split’ casting method, ensuring a balanced casting that will not distort under high heat, an issue common with cheaper ‘moulded out’ castings.

Replacement disc rings for EBC floating rotors are significantly less expensive than our major competitors.

‘Apollo Series’ Brake Calipers Additional Info

Apollo brake calipers utilise a 2-piece bolted design, incorporating high tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section. Computer FEA analysis shows that the utilisation of high-tensile steel bolts to reinforce the bridge brings significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a mono-block design. A stiffer bridge section means less elongation during brake apply, giving a firmer and more responsive pedal feel, especially after a period of harder braking where the aluminium bridge of a mono-block design caliper softens appreciably with increasing temperature.

Unlike the vast majority of cast calipers, which are typically gravity cast, Apollo Series caliper bodies are machined from heat treated low pressure castings. Low pressure casting is a vastly more expensive production method than conventional gravity casting, but by forcing the aluminium alloy into the mould under pressure the consistency of the finished part is greatly improved. This gives EBC’s Apollo Series brake calipers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging.

Unlike most painted calipers on the market, Apollo brake calipers are not painted using a powder coat finish. Powder coat cracks and discolours with exposure to high heat, meaning that powder coated calipers look great out the box, but the colour quickly fades away in use. We don’t just want Apollo calipers to look good in the box, we want them to look great for years to come, that’s why EBC finish every caliper using our advanced high-temperature Teflon™ polyester coating process. This top-coat paint system is similar to what’s used in the cookware market on the underside of pans and it gives a durable, fade resistant coating that’s easy to wipe clean and ensures that Apollo calipers will look great for years to come.
